Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between J and PJ configurations?
A J Set uses two Jazz pickups (bridge and neck). A PJ Set combines a Precision pickup (bridge) with a Jazz pickup (neck), offering thicker lows and sharper treble in one instrument.
Are both kits truly solderless?
Yes, both include solderless plug-and-play components with split-shaft pots, buss connectors, and cable assemblies. No soldering required for installation.
Will either kit work in my existing bass?
Only if your bass body and pickguard are routed for the matching pickup configuration. The J Kit requires dual-Jazz cavities; the PJ Kit requires a P/J routing pattern. Check your bass specs before purchasing.
Is there a price difference between these kits?
Both are listed in the budget tier. The PJ Kit includes one additional interconnect cable, but overall pricing should be comparable.
